No Need to Ask


The one who brings wine pours again,
no need to ask.

Do you ask the moon to rise
and give its light?

When ranks of soldiers dissolve,
dismissed for a holiday,

when a lost hand reaches
to touch the rescuing hand,

when a candle next to a mirrored
sconce gets lit,

your presence enters my soul.

    Whoa! that's a lot of scenarios that lead to "entering" and none will be missed wasting time obtaining permission.

    you might want to write down your soul's contact info now before one of those scenarios plays out.

    cause it sounds a very poetic way to say the entering ritual can happen all the time for a short time which might make for pleasantly worn out soul.

At the request of a Rumi Reader, I have enabled comments, because I agree that someone, sometime might want to write about the power of Rumi's words. So many times they have met me in ways I just have to share, and so I want you to have that opportunity here. There is no expectation for comments, but please do write something if you feel the urge. ~ Ruth
